STORY EXCERPT

“You can’t talk like that to me!” he wailed and picked up another can. He launched at my head and of course I ducked in time but I was still shocked. Whoever this kid belonged to needed to be smacked for raising such a monster. “You asshole!”

“Excuse me?” I growled, seriously hitting my limit now.

“Paulie!” someone shouted and I prayed to whoever was listening that this monster was Paulie and help was coming soon. I started to walk to the front of the garage but another can of pop got launched at me.

“Missing a kid?” I yelled, staring daggers at the kid. I really wanted to say did you try to ditch the spawn of Satan?

“Yes,” he said before racing into the garage, panting for breath. I could tell he wasn’t human from his scent, unlike the kid who was, but not what type of paranormal he was. That was odd. I didn’t know many I couldn’t at least get a vibe for. “Oh gods, Paulie. You scared the crap out of me!”

He glanced at me then and I froze as the most gorgeous tan eyes met mine. It was an odd color that I would have thought hideous for eyes, but no, they were breathtaking… And so was he. Short black hair that stood up funny like he’d been trying to pull it out, nice compact body I wanted under me for days screaming out my name and everything.

“I’m telling Daddy you let me escape again, POS,” the kid sneered. “You’re going to get smacked and not the good kind you beg for!”

“Paulie,” he hissed, his cheeks heating with embarrassment before he turned to me. “I’m so sorry about this. I’ll pay for any damages. Are you okay? Did anyone get hurt?”

“He hurt me!” Paulie accused as he threw another can at me. I caught this one and moved closer.

I raised an eyebrow at him and set the pop on one of my boxes. “He fell when I tried to stop the shelf from falling on him. It hit me instead and I’m fine. Thank you for your concern.”

“Okay, well I’m glad no one was injured,” the gorgeous man sighed, grabbing the kid’s arm when he picked up another can of pop. “Paulie, stop it! Say you’re sorry to the nice man right now.”

“No! And I’m telling Daddy you grabbed me. You’re going to be in so much trouble.”

“Watch it, kid,” I growled. He froze and his eyes went wide. I focused on the man trying to get Paulie under control. “What’s your name?”

“Oh, sorry. I’m Trevor,” he mumbled, still reaching for the can of pop. “Are you sure I can’t pay for this? Again, I’m so sorry. Paulie doesn’t normally get away from me like this. He figured out how to lock me—” He snapped his mouth shut so fast I saw him wince and then smelled blood, guessing he bit his tongue.

“I locked tiny dick in the bathroom,” Paulie announced proudly. “Daddy’s going to beat him later for that and everything else I’m going to snitch on him for!”

“And that makes you just as big of a monster as your father,” I said coldly, narrowing my eyes at the evil spawn.

“He’s just kidding,” Trevor lied, looking anywhere but at me. “You know kids.”

“Yes, and I know men who have been hurt and think they deserve the abuse they get,” I said gently. “You don’t have to put up with that. Where is his dad?”

“I don’t know.” He glanced at me then and shrugged. “Paul goes off every so often. He asked me to watch Paulie a couple of days ago and I couldn’t just leave him and there’s no family I could drop him off at.”

“Daddy didn’t ask you. He told you to do it and you agreed and that’s why Daddy calls you POS because you do anything he wants.” Then he smashed the can of pop into Trevor’s face and broke out into peals of giggles.

“So what’s your reason for calling a nice man by that name when he’s obviously the only one who cares about you?” I hissed at the little shit, my fangs popping out. “Hit him again and I’ll drain you dry.”

“We should go,” Trevor whispered in a shaky voice. I glanced at him and saw that the kid had cut his head and the blood was running into his eye even as he was pushing the boy behind his small frame to protect him. “If you change your mind about my paying for the damages I’ll gladly do it.”

“Don’t let him bite me, tiny dick,” Paulie whimpered. What a devil! Even then he couldn’t stop being mean. I would never hurt even an evil child like that but the dad I planned on having a serious talk with.

“Trevor, wait,” I sighed as I made my fangs retract. “Let me help you. I was just trying to—”

“Scare us? Yeah, you did,” he said so quietly it made my heart hurt. He picked up the boy and raced from my garage.

“Damnit,” I snarled as I stepped out onto the driveway, watching him. He went into a house four down. At least I knew where they lived now.

I’d just meant to scare the kid into losing some of his bravado. He was such a cocky little shit like nothing could touch him. It wasn’t safe for him to have that attitude. I was a cop and a good person. I’d never harm a kid. But if he’d pulled that on someone else he could have seriously gotten hurt. No matter how evil he was, I didn’t want that. I just wanted him to understand that he couldn’t be such a brat.

And now I’d scared Trevor off and sent him back to an abusive relationship instead of helping him. All around my day just sucked balls.

ADULT EXCERPT:

“I’d wash your back and kiss away your tears,” I said in a husky voice. “I’d show you that you’re worth so much more than people have treated you and ask if there’s something you needed because I’d give it to you, Trev. If you told me you just wanted a hug then that’s all this would be.”

“I don’t know what would help,” he admitted, his eyes raking over me. “I just can’t believe you still want me after what you heard. How can you stand to even look at me after hearing all the ways people have used me?”

“Because it wasn’t your fault,” I growled. I moved my larger frame until he was forced against the tiles, our bodies pressing together. He let out a surprised yelp and looked up at me, his eyes wide as his chest heaved. “Tell me this is too much and it stops, Trev. I don’t want to push you.”

“Do you want me?”

“Oh yeah,” I moaned.

“That’s all I’ve ever wanted. To be wanted for the right reasons instead of just used. I’m yours, Kyle,” he whispered. I slowly lowered my lips to his, giving him time to change his mind. Instead, he raised his head as much as he could to meet me. He was already clean so I turned him while we were still kissing until he was under the spray just to make sure he was all rinsed off. Then I turned the knob and lifted him up.

Trevor got the idea and wrapped his thin legs around me. Moments later I was kicking the door to my room closed, not even bothering with drying us off. I let us fall onto the bed together and blindly reached into my nightstand for lube. Once I found my prize, I pulled away just enough to slick up my cock, Trevor’s eyes never leaving my body.

“You’re ready for this step?” I asked just to be sure. I didn’t want any confusion later that I’d pushed too far too fast.

“Yes,” he hissed, almost sounding more snake than man. “I want to have sex on my back the first time with you. I want that massive cock thrusting into me until I scream your name, Kyle.”

“The mouth on you.” I lowered myself down to him again, lifting his leg as I held my dick to his hole. I pushed it in slowly, groaning in bliss as his body opened for me as if knowing me and welcoming me. Sure, we could still play another time and even finger him, but it was nice not to have to do it always before I could enter him like right then when I felt I would die if I didn’t get in him soon.

“I can do lots with this mouth.” Again it was really a deep hiss. Maybe that was just how snake shifters acted when they were turned on? I bottomed out inside of him, his tight little body taking my eleven-inch fat cock without any problem. I moved my hands up his legs and wrapped them around my hips, thinking it odd that he was not just wet but slick. I guess I didn’t wash off all the soap or there had been more lube on my hand than I’d thought.

“I look forward to finding out everything we can experience together, Trev,” I whispered as I moved my arms under his shoulders, staring into his eyes. “Good?”

“Perfect.” I pulled out and thrust back in, testing to see how much he would open for me, smiling when he cried out in pleasure. I had to agree with his assessment. Trevor whimpered and I got the idea, kissing him passionately as I pumped my hips, done checking if everything was okay. I felt high on him and what we were doing, almost like a deep-seated need to finish it though I wasn’t sure what it was. I took him faster than I’d meant to.

I had had every intention of going slow but it was like I couldn’t. I had to finish. And why was I sliding against him like he was oiled up? What was that strange smell? I should be worried about that. I pulled off of his mouth and moaned when he sucked up a mark on my neck.

“Was there oil in the shower?” I grunted as he moved his lips up to my ear.

“Shut up and fuck me,” he hissed deeply in his chest. I felt his tongue in my ear and it wasn’t a human one. I knew some shifters could partially change when they were turned on or in certain situations. I should have been more concerned with his words and the harshness of his tone, but it just felt too damn good and the need I was feeling was clouding my head. “Bite me, Kyle.”

Him saying the words had my fangs coming out and throbbing. Yes, I wanted to taste him. I licked his neck and felt a rush of instant happiness like endorphins and I don’t know what. It was awesome. I pierced his skin as I held him tighter while plundering his body. Trevor cried out as he came, shaking under me. His blood was sweeter than any I had tasted before and I moaned at the pleasure of such a feast.

Several sips later, his orgasm still going, I realized it was enough and lifted my head as my own climax hit me like a tree trunk upside the head. I roared out his name as I pumped my seed deep inside of him. It felt like forever and not long enough all at the same time. When I was spent I quickly rolled us so I didn’t squish him by collapsing on top of him.

“Wow,” I gasped.

“Don’t kill me,” he whimpered, his chest still heaving. I blinked in shock at him, seeing fear in his eyes. Oh shit. That couldn’t be good.
